I loved Talon when he and Lando helped black mail sentors to get Cal Omas elected Chief of State (...at least, I think it was Talon lol)._________________"Changes are nice--but so is continuity!"

Somehow I'm very late in posting my thoughts on the coolest character.

Let's break out a top five chart:

5. Yoda. Dude is insane. How has he been forgotten?
4. Lando.
3. Han.
2. Obi-Wan. I think people underestimate his coolness. Look at that smug grin before he dies. How many people are cool enough to grin before they die?
1. Mace Windu. Look at the original Clone Wars, Shatterpoint, ROTS movie and novel, AOTC, basically everything he is in. Nobody compares to Mace Windu in any of those.

I'm here to drop my top!

1. Anakin Solo: Because he's the strongest Jedi since like Sunrider AND

He knows, even in death, how to prevent the Order's extinction. And he is one of the few to be able to command Skywalker, even though he was just an apparition.

Plus one of the only 3 Jedi to achieve oneness in life.

2. Caedus: Because he made the unthinkable sacrifice.

According to what I've gathered from ABYSS he sacrificed himself to give Ben and Allana a fighting chance, and lost his soul to damnation in the process. What a guy.

Plus another of the only 3 to achieve oneness in life

3. Han Solo: Let's face it, there is NO better pilot and there's no wittier in the galaxy

4. Obi-Wan Kenobi: For the same reason OMB loved him, he smiles at death!

5. Luke Skywalker: He was a rockin rebel, a stellar jedi, a powerful master, a hilarious father, and he was even an insightful ghost in the Legacy comics. Outtasight._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

*sigh* Droids don't count. Neither do the termites.
Anyway, back to subject, I agree; Anakin Solo was definitely one of the coolest EU characters ever. Poor kid. A causality of poor planning by everybody over at Del Rey. And, no, I haven't forgotten George Lucas' involvement in that decision.
And y'all are right, Obi-Wan doesn't get enough recongnition of his coolness. _________________All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

4-LOM was a pretty cool droid, but R2-D2 has to be the coolest of the droids. He appears in every movie, isn't afraid to fight, and has an interesting sense of humor.

The one thing I can't figure out is in Episode II, why does R2 push C-3P0 off the ledge in the Geonosis droid factory? R2 uses his rockets to fly around, but C-3P0 just falls to his doom. (with a close save)_________________

A way we connect with each other...and I guess thats why I do toys. That connection." -Ashley Wood

I think Yoda's fighting and Force abilities are astounding, but his character seems flawed at times. Enough so that I'm not as amazed by him as everyone else seems to be. *shrugs*_________________"It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker
